How many hours before intercourse can a female condom be inserted?

4 hours
6 hours
8 hours
10 hours

The correct answer is: 8 hours

The correct answer is that a female condom can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse. This allows for greater flexibility and convenience, giving individuals the opportunity to engage in spontaneous sexual activity without the immediate need to pause for preparation. The 8-hour timeframe is based on the design and material of the female condom, which is made to maintain its integrity and effectiveness when it is in place for several hours prior to use. Inserting the condom too far in advance of sexual activity ensures that it stays securely in place but still remains effective as a barrier method of contraception and protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Understanding the suitable timeframes for condom insertion is critical in promoting safe sexual practices and ensuring that both partners feel prepared and confident when engaging in sexual activity.
